Definitions

  • the present invention relates in general to building construction materials and particularly relates to stacked siding which is locked in place at its upper and lower edges.
  • Aluminum siding and plastic siding have been used for many years to provide a decorative and protective covering for the exterior walls of various structures, including industrial, commercial and residential buildings .
  • prior siding configurations have, in general, performed satisfactorily, a recurring problem persists wherein strong winds, external impact or vandalism causes adjacent siding panels to disengage from one another and separate. Once separated, the panels not only create an unpleasant nonuniform appearance but also produce undesirable noise as they flap against one another in strong winds.
  • An aluminum siding stack-on panel is known which is wind vulnerable and, in fact, is known to come loose if an installer does not fully seat each panel. Sometimes an installer lifts the panels upward in an attempt to correct misalignments.
  • the present invention has been developed to fulfill the needs noted above and therefore has as an object the provision of a siding panel which is easy to install and which forms a positive locking interengagement with an adjacent panel.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a plastic siding panel which controls and sets the amount of nail projection above the surface of the panel during its installation.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a vinyl siding panel which is self-positioning and self-seating by its own weight.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a siding panel which does not need to be held by an installer and supported against falling or slipping downward during installation.
  • Still another object of the invention is the provision of a seamless vinyl siding panel or a cut to length panel which uses mounting nails for both mounting a first panel to a wall and for providing a positive step for preventing disengagement of a second panel from the first panel.
  • Another object of the invention is to prevent an installer from pulling siding panels upward to correct misalignment that the installer created, thereby preventing panels from becoming disengaged.
  • a siding panel particularly a seamless plastic siding panel or panels cut to length, which includes an abutment surface or surfaces for engaging a hammer during installation of the panel.
  • the abutment surfaces establish the final position of the heads of the mounting nails so as to establish a predetermined final location of the nail heads and a predeter-mined length of nail projecting from the wall being covered with the siding.
  • the location of the mounting slots or holes for receiving the mounting nails is aligned with respect to an adjacent locking channel or groove so as to position the mounting nails in an inter-ference relationship with a mounting lip formed on another mating panel.
  • This particular construction requires a unique pivoting motion for locking the mounting lip of one panel in the locking channel of another previously installed nailed down panel.
  • the locking channel is designed with an upwardly facing mounting groove for receiving and supporting the weight of an adjacent siding panel during installation.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a pair of prior art siding panels, partly in section, showing the relative position of the panels prior to installation;
  • Fig. 2 is a side view of the prior art panels of Fig. 1 as installed on a wall;
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view of siding panels constructed in accordance with the invention;
  • Fig. 4 is a side elevation view of siding panels constructed according to the invention and showing the mounting of a loose siding panel to a previously mounted siding panel;
  • Fig. 5 is an enlarged fragmental view of the interlock formed between the siding panels of Figs. 3 and 4;
  • Fig. 6 is a front fragmental view of the relative spacing and location of the interlock formed between adjacent panels constructed according to the invention.
  • Fig. 7 is a side elevation view of an alternate embodiment of the invention.
  • Fig. 8 is a fragmental perspective view of a starter strip constructed in accordance with the invention.
  • Prior vinyl siding constructions typically include a panel 10 having a top nailing or mounting strip 12 formed with slots 14 for receiving mounting nails 16.
  • a somewhat N-shaped sinuous ridge 18 defines a downwardly facing groove 20 for receiving a mounting lip 22 formed on the lower edge of an adjacent siding panel 10.
  • a worker typically nails the lower siding panel to a wall 24 and lifts a second siding panel over and above the lower siding panel as shown in Fig. 1.
  • This second siding panel is then pushed or slid upwardly so that the mounting lip 22 is deflected in the direction of arrow 26 (Fig. 1) within groove 20 and resiliently secured therein as shown in Fig. 2.
  • the siding panel 30 of Fig. 3 has been developed in accordance with the present invention.
  • the construction begins with a starter strip 28 of conventional design. Once starter strip 28 is nailed to wall 24, a first siding panel 30 is mounted to the starter strip and nailed to wall 24 as shown.
  • panel 30 need not be held in place by an installer during nailing since its weight is borne by the starter strip 28 and its vertical height is also maintained by the starter strip. More particularly, the upwardly projecting lip 32 of starter strip 28 engages and supports the underside of a somewhat horizontal mounting step 34 formed adjacent a lower vertical lip which forms locking flange 36 of panel 30.
  • Panel 30 extends upwardly from step 34 in an undulating profile which defines a first or lower tier 40 beginning at ridge 41.
  • An intermediate sinuous step 42 extends outwardly from the top of lower tier 40 and curves upwardly into a second or upper tier 44.
  • the top of tier 44 terminates in an upwardly facing convex outer portion defining a ridge 46 which transitions into a downwardly facing convex inner ridge 48 which shares a common intermediate wall 50 with ridge 46 so as to resemble the profile of a full sine wave.
  • ridge 48 defines a generally V- shaped or U-shaped interlock channel 52 having a flat sidewall 54 which extends upwardly to define a flat nailing strip 56.
  • Nailing strip 56 is formed with perforations or slots 58 for receiving and positioning mounting nails 16 therein.
  • nailing strip 56 extends horizontally outwardly over and above interlock channel 52 to provide an abutment ledge 60 which may terminate in a downturned lip 62.
  • Ledge 60 overhangs the nailing slots 58.
  • Abutment edge 60 and lip 62 limit the extent to which nail 16 may be driven into wall 24 and also sets the location of the nail head and the exposed length of the nail above nailing strip 56. That is, a hammer will hit the abutment edge, as well as the outer abutment wall 64 of convex ridge 46 and thereby be prevented from driving nail 16 any further into wall 2 .
  • Fig. 4 The manner of installation of one siding panel 30 into locking engagement with another is shown in Fig. 4 wherein a loose siding panel 30 is shown at the top of the figure positioned horizontally with its lower flange 36 inserted between outer ridge 46 and nail 16. At this point of installation, ridge 46 serves as a fulcrum about which siding panel 30 is pivoted upwardly in the direction of arrow 66.
  • FIG. 5 One form of such positive retention is shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6 wherein the top of edge 68 of step 34 is shown nested a distance 70 beneath the head 72 of nail 16.
  • Another way to define the interlock is to dimension the length of flange 36 greater than the length of the opening 74 and less than the length of dimension 76. In fact, as long as flange 36 interferes with both nail 16 and lip 46 in order to pass through opening 74, an interlock will be established in accordance with the invention. It is not always necessary that the bottom of flange 36 engage the bottom of interlock channel 52.
  • Another desirable relationship is to dimension the length of flange 36 greater than the depth of interlock channel 52, that is, greater than the vertical height between inner ridge 48 and edge 68 of step 34. This ensures that the weight of the upper panel is applied to the interlock channel 52 to help maintain flange 36 within the interlock channel.
  • the length of locking flange 36 is dimensioned less than the depth of interlock channel 52 so that the free end 82 of locking flange 36 is disposed above the bottom 84 of interlock channel 52. In this manner, the locking flange 36 will not interfere with the complete contact and engagement between ridge 46 and support channel 80.
  • This complete nesting of adjacent panels provides a totally uniform look to the assembled panels.
  • Another modification of the invention shown in Fig. 7 is the use of an upturned or upwardly directed lip 62 for engaging a nail hammer as nail 16 is driven into wall 24. Lip 62 serves as noted previously to set the location of nail head 72 with respect to each interlocked panel 10,10 and with respect to opening 74 defined therebetween. By turning lip 62 upward, a savings in material can be realized and the overall rigidity of the panel can be enhanced.
  • FIG. 7 and 8 An improved starter strip 28 is depicted in Figs. 7 and 8 wherein lip 32 is formed with an arcuate upwardly directed convex profile which matches the contour of the surface profile of support channel 80. Lip 32 is dimensioned so that the free end 82 of locking flange 36 is suspended above the bottom floor 86 of starter strip 28.
  • Starter strip 28, as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 also includes a side wall 88 having nail slots for mounting strip 28 to wall 24, and a lower leg 90 and an upper leg 92 each extending outwardly from side wall 88.
  • Upper leg 92 terminates in an upwardly directed hammer engaging abutment lip 94 which serves the same function as lip 62 noted previously.
  • This version of starter strip 28 provides the same interlocking advantages as described with respect to the interlock between panels 10,10 of Fig. 7. That is, greater rigidity along the abutting surfaces of lip 32 and step 34, more uniformity in installed appearance, and positive positioning of nail head 72 within opening 74.
  • ridge or edge 68 of step 34 may be dimensioned so that it is disposed directly below nail head 72 rather than disposed below the shank of nail 16.

Abstract

Des panneaux de parement destinés à couvrir les murs extérieurs de bâtiments définissent entre eux, par une languette 822) et une gorge (20), un emboîtement qui facilite leur installation dans la mesure où le poids d'un panneau supérieur (20) va porter sur un panneau inférieur sous-jacent (30), ce qui évite d'avoir recours à un installateur pour maintenir le panneau (30) en place et ce, contre la force de gravité. On utilise des clous de montage (16) concurremment à l'emboîtement réalisé au moyen de la languette (22) et de la gorge (20) pour bloquer de manière positive la languette (22) d'un panneau (30) dans la gorge (20) du panneau sous-jacent (30). Le positionnement du clou est régi par le positionnement relatif des fentes pour clou (14) et des surfaces de butée de marteau, constituées sur chaque panneau (30). Dans la mesure où il faut faire pivoter les panneaux (30) en place et les maintenir en place par les clous de parement en surplomb, il est pratiquement impossible pour l'installateur de commettre une erreur qui se solderait par la séparation d'un panneau de parement supérieur (30) d'avec le panneau de parement (30) situé en dessous.
